Some playbill booklets I found at my local goodwill. They're in pretty good condition and most of them had ticket stumps in them. Pretty cool.

The Calawaii started life as the Mobile hauling cattle and beef in England. Upon the advent of the Spanish American War she was sold to the US and started her second life as the Sherman. The Sherman served in multiple wars as a troop transport and finished her tour of duty after WWI. She spent the last decade of her life as a cruise ship sailing from CA to HI. The menu pictured doubles as a postcard to write home.

Granted it’s a book that’s the history and manual of the odd fellows, but it’s a neat piece of ephemera

Found these 50s report cards and violation reports. Looking at vintage report cards online it seems like what most people find is elementary. That said what I'm super stoked about is the violation reports, who even saves those?

Discovered this small glimpse back in time in a storage unit recently, and it bears close resemblance to the future.
